Ethics in the digital workplace
Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.
On 24 April 2017, German provider of software-based automation solutions SNP announced to create some 150 jobs within 2017 in Germany and a further 150 jobs worldwide.
The company with headquarters in Heidelberg recently opened a new site in Dresden and another one in Berlin will follow by mid-2017 as the company experienced strong growth in recent years (in 2016, SNP achieved a turnover of about €81 million).
SNP currently employs over 700 employees in Europe, South Africa, Asia and the United States.
